It is often difficult to distinguish one resort in southern Chile from another. They all seem to come with an incredible view, cabins and the other typical amenities, and from there you have to sort them based on services provided. One such resort is Fundo Ranco, located on the shores of Lago Ranco. This resort is set apart however by a few unusual services, not typically found among other resorts in Southern Chile and the Patagonia.

The Fundo Ranco resort is located on the shores of Lago Ranco, about a one hour drive from the city of Osorno. The resort includes a main house and several large cabins situated on the shores of Lago Ranco.

Fundo Ranco has in recent years become very popular for conventions and employee retreats with companies from Santiago. Fundo Ranco has all the standard activities typically found at many other resorts in Chile including sailing, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding; however, what is not normally found among resorts in Southern Chile are Reiki classes. We will get to that in a moment.

A family resort in Southern Chile

During the summer this is a destination for Chilean families, because of the individual cabins and private beach available. More importantly Fundo Ranco includes a whole schedule of activities for the kids. The Fundo is a sort of dude ranch for kids, with activities ranging from milking cows to making apple juice to learning crafts constructed from the natural materials found around the lake.

Reiki at Ranco

Chile is not big on alternative medicines, beliefs, and practices. This however has started to change in recent years as more Chileans gain wider international experience. Fundo Ranco has picked up on this trend, and now offers Reiki courses for visitors. Reiki is an alternative medicine that originated in Japan. The belief of the practitioners is that universal energy can be channeled to heal both the physical and mental by individuals or groups. Regardless of your belief in such alternative medicine, they have some fairly practical philosophies that at the least can not hurt. Below is one such practice or philosophy of Reiki:

Fundo Ranco offers special classes and seminars that focus on teaching Reiki philosophy and other alternative medicine such as meditation and Reflexology , in the relaxing setting of Lago Ranco with the surrounding mountain vistas and natural wonders. The Reiki classes offer an opportunity for group bonding and stress releasing exercise.

Fundo Ranco is always evolving and trying new things. Unlike many resorts in Southern Chile, Fundo Ranco strives to both entertain your mind and your body, while providing the most relaxing environment possible. Too often, a resort is just a shelter in Southern Chile with a meal plan. Fundo Ranco is looking to set itself apart by getting you and your family involved in enjoying your vacation.
